About: I’ve been around and caring for dogs and cats since I was 3 years old, so taking care of animals has always been a big part of my life! 🐾 Over the years, I’ve cared for pets belonging to family and friends, including traveling out of state to make sure their pets were well taken care of. I’ve also welcomed dogs into my own home while their families are away on business trips or vacations. I truly love animals and treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. Whether your pup needs walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply some company while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable! 🐶 recently transitioned out of the Navy and currently have a very flexible schedule, which means I’m available any day of the week and at almost any time! I’m happy to work around your schedule and your pet’s routine. Whether you need early-morning walks, daytime care, overnight stays, or last-minute help, I’m generally available and happy to accommodate. 🐾 My flexible schedule allows me to give your pets plenty of attention, care, playtime, and companionship while you’re away! My home is clean, comfortable, and completely pet-friendly! I currently don’t have any pets of my own, so your dog will have my full attention and plenty of space to feel comfortable. I have a fully fenced-in backyard where dogs can safely play, explore, and get some fresh air. There’s plenty of room for them to stretch their legs and have fun. Most importantly, I want every pet staying with me to feel right at home. They’re welcome to relax, play, cuddle, and settle into their own routine while they’re here.
“Gia was an absolutely wonderful dog sitter. She took such great care of my dog and treated him like her own. She was attentive, patient, and genuinely caring, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was incredibly helpful having someone so reliable and responsible to dog sit, and I could tell my dog was happy and comfortable with her. Gia kept me updated and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, and dedicated dog sitter.”

About: I've been living with animals all my life. I've taken care of several different breeds of dogs and cats. I've even worked with local zoos and sanctuaries. I also assist in managing a local cat colony and do other things in the community to help out the animals. I couldn't see my life without animals. I will surely treat your fur baby with love and care just as if they are my own. Right now I am working from home part time and I have a flexible schedule, set schedules welcome, I'm up for morning walks, over night caring and weekends for your cat or dog. I prefer to care for your pet at your house. I can possibly accommodate one or two cats at my house. I live with three dogs and 5 cats and if you are ok with them being roommates for a day or so, we can definitely discuss that option. I am open to discuss any arrangements that will work for you and your family.
“Jacob and his girlfriend are fantastic pet sitters. I could tell with how well my Harley reacted and responded to them. They both communicated great with us and always sent pictures and are very detailed with each time they came to care for my dog. I will definitely try and use them again when needed.”

About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. 🐶❤️ I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities, from playful puppies who need lots of attention to sweet senior dogs who need a little extra patience and gentle care. My experience in animal rescue has taught me that every dog is different. Some are energetic and playful, while others are shy, nervous, or need time to feel comfortable. I take the time to understand each dog and respect what makes them unique. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because animals have always been a big part of my life. I enjoy being active, spending time with pets, and keeping them on a consistent schedule. I’m able to plan my day around walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and the individual needs of each pet. I understand how important it is for pets to feel comfortable and maintain their normal routine while their owners are away, and I’m committed to giving them plenty of attention, love, and care. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or in their home, I focus on keeping them comfortable, safe, and on their normal routine. I follow feeding schedules, walks, medications when needed, playtime, potty breaks, and any special instructions from their owner. I also give pets plenty of patience, attention, and affection while respecting their individual personality and boundaries. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, loved, and cared for while their family is away. 🐾❤️
About: I have over 10 years of experience living with and caring for pets of all shapes and sizes. As a current nursing school student, I bring a high level of clinical observation and responsibility to my pet care. I am deeply comfortable with specialized medical needs, including administering insulin injections, oral medications, and eye drops. Having cared for a senior dog with diabetes and blindness, I understand the patience and gentle touch required for pets who need extra support. My schedule is very consistent! I am a nursing student, which means I have a few set days for classes and clinicals, but I am otherwise very flexible for drop-ins and walks. I prioritize clear communication and will always let you know my exact windows of availability well in advance. Safety is my top priority. I am trained to be observant of a pet’s physical and emotional state. Whether we are in your home or out on a walk, I maintain a 'paws-on' approach to supervision. I am also comfortable managing multi-pet households, as I personally care for a 'mini-zoo' including dogs, cats, a turtle, and even shrimp!
About: My name is Tiffany, Im 24 years old and I currently work at Bass Pro Shops. I am going to school to become a radiology tech. I was in the JROTC program in highschool for 4 years, so I have experience taking charge of a situation and being in a leadership position. I have volunteered at animal clinics before. Since I was a toddler, I've had a passion and respect for animals. This is my first job taking care of pets, but I'll guarantee they'll have the best time. I will tend to their every needs. I have immense patience, great at communicating, I'm punctual, organized, flexible when needed. When I have a goal, I'm a committed and determined person. Overall, I'm a reliable person and I would love the chance to take care of your babies! ! ! i have open availability to take care of your best friends when you need it! i can do any time, any day of the week. I live in the country walk area. My house may be small but your fur baby will have all the space in world to roam/explore when we go to the dog park to run and play. I can also easily crate your dog if needed...
About: Caring for pets isn't new to me. I'm the go-to pet sitter for a few of my best friends whenever they travel, and I've cared for everything from energetic young dogs to senior pups who require extra patience, medications, vitamins, and special care. I know every pet thrives on consistency, so I always ask for detailed instructions about feeding schedules, walks, medications, favorite toys, sleeping habits, and any little quirks that help them feel safe and comfortable while their family is away. After more than 20 years in the corporate world, including over 13 years in Human Resources, I recently decided to take a career break and slow things down a little while I figure out what’s next. It’s given me something I haven’t had much of in my career — flexibility. My schedule is very open, which means I’m able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets I’m caring for. I’m not rushing in and out between a full-time job or trying to squeeze pet care into an already busy schedule. I can work around their normal routines and be there for the walks, playtime, meals, medications, or simply the company they’re used to having. I’m starting locally because I’ve been caring for friends’ and family members’ pets for years and would love to continue doing something I genuinely enjoy while building my Rover experience. I’m also hoping to eventually combine pet sitting with my love of travel, so this feels like a really fun new chapter for me. If your pet has a specific schedule or needs someone who can be flexible, I’m happy to work around their routine. And if plans change or something unexpected comes up, I have the flexibility to adjust without it becoming a problem I can’t care for pets in my own home because pets aren’t allowed in my apartment, so I primarily offer care in your home. (My own pets live with my brother, so we have what you would call “joint custody” haha. I’m the auntie who visits any chance she gets and also the sitter whenever my brother is out of town.) Although I’m new to Rover, caring for pets and being responsible for someone else’s home is certainly not new to me. When I’m staying in their homes, I treat it with the same respect and care I would give my own. I’m tidy, respectful of your space, and mindful of your home and belongings. I’m also BIG on routine. Before you leave, I want/NEED to know detailed instructions on how things normally work for your pet — feeding times and portions, walks, medications or vitamins, bedtime, favorite treats, where they like to sleep, and all those little quirks that make them them. Show me their routine, and I’ll do my best to keep things as normal as possible while you’re away. Because I’m taking a career break, I have the flexibility to spend real quality time with your pets. Whether they love long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I’m happy to keep them company throughout the day rather than just stopping in to feed them. I’ll also send regular photos and updates so you know how they’re doing and can actually enjoy your time away knowing they’re safe, comfortable, and in good hands :)

“I couldn’t be happier with Genesis' service! My rabbit is extremely shy, but loved Genesis instantly! She was incredibly reliable, communicative, and attentive to all of my rabbit's needs. From the updates and photos, it was clear that my pet felt comfortable and loved. I felt completely at ease knowing my pet and home were in such caring hands. I highly recommend Genesis to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate sitter, and I'll definitely book with her again in the future!”

About: I am a pet owner and animal lover. I have experience caring for cats, dogs, birds, fish, and rodents. I have worked with many animals and am comfortable grooming, walking, feeding, playing with and caring for your pets.

What sets me apart other walkers I make sure that i take the dog for a walk atlease for 20min I make sure I have water for them and extra toys so I could play with them so they could feel entertained because sometime keeping your pets home for too long gets them bored and frustrated I make a routine and I stick and follow through .
About: I have always loved animals, and caring for my own dog, Jaxxon, has made that love even stronger. Jaxxon is part of my family, and taking care of him has taught me how important patience, responsibility, routine, and trust are when it comes to pets. Along with caring for Jaxxon, I have experience pet sitting and house sitting for many different kinds of animals, including various breeds of dogs, parrots, and even snakes. I understand that every animal has its own personality, comfort level, and care needs. Some pets need lots of playtime and attention, while others need calm energy, patience, or a specific routine. I am comfortable caring for pets of different sizes, breeds, and temperaments, and I always make sure they feel safe, loved, and respected. Whether I am walking a dog, feeding pets, keeping them company, or caring for a home while the owners are away, I take the responsibility seriously. I know pets are family, and I would treat every animal with the same care and kindness I give my own Jaxxon. 🐶💛 Pet care fits well into my daily and weekly routine because I am responsible, organized, and already used to caring for my own dog, Jaxxon. I am available for pet sitting, house sitting, walks, drop-ins, and giving pets the attention they need while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has a routine, and I do my best to follow instructions closely so they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I care for pets with patience, kindness, and close attention to their needs. I have experience house sitting and caring for many different animals, including dogs of different breeds and sizes, parrots, and even snakes. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I respect their space, follow feeding and care instructions, keep pets safe, and treat every animal like family. My own dog, Jaxxon, has taught me how important love, routine, and trust are when caring for someone’s pet.

About: I have had animals in my house since I was born, with up to 13 in my house at one point. I’ve had cats, dogs, ferrets, bunnies, bearded dragons, birds, and fish. So, I’ve had a lot of experience caring for animals and i’m very open and excited to care for many others! I start nursing school in the Fall, so I will be having classes, but, I have plenty of availability to care for your animals, with night shifts, day shifts, and can be open to whatever you need. I have indoor cats but I have taken care of outdoor cats as well. I have a kennel for my dog for when nobody is home for longer periods of time, but have cared for dogs with no kennels/crates.
About: Loving care, cozy home, fenced yard, belly rubs, pup spa days, playtime, and daily updates—your dog’s vacation while you’re away! I treat every pup like family and tailor care to their unique needs. Whether it’s fetch, cuddles, or a calming spa moment, your dog will feel right at home. I’m currently an online student with a flexible schedule, so I will be at home 24/7 with the pups (minimized cage/alone times for the pups! often til bed time!) and have plenty of time to care for their needs with walking, outdoor plays, bathing, and a dedicated puppy room. We’re available whenever you need, and your dog’s comfort and happiness are always my top priority. In my home, pets are treated like family.

About: I've been a dog lover since I was born. I've participated in adoption and rescue campaigns for vulnerable puppies, understanding the needs of each one and respecting their routines. My intention is always to make them feel loved and cared for. I welcome shy, playful, and expert heart-stealing puppies. I recently moved to Miami and I have a part-time job, which allows me to dedicate myself to my true passion, which is caring for animals. I currently live in an apartment with private park areas and have transportation available to get around. I can also care for the pet at the owner's home for the pet's greater comfort.

Mrs. Melida is excellent baby sister. She is so kind, lovely and responsible person. Never missing or late and we are 100% satisfied with her. We can take vacation without preoccupation because my babies are on so happy with her. Permanently, we are on communication. We are 100% sure; we are going to keep working with her. Thank you. Alicia D'Bazo
Gia was an absolutely wonderful dog sitter. She took such great care of my dog and treated him like her own. She was attentive, patient, and genuinely caring, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was incredibly helpful having someone so reliable and responsible to dog sit, and I could tell my dog was happy and comfortable with her. Gia kept me updated and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, and dedicated dog sitter.

Lourdes was a phenomenal caretaker and went above and beyond for our Laika. She’s meticulous on instructions, communicates well, provides several photos everyday and takes her time to walk Laika. I strongly recommend her! You won’t regret it! We will definitely be using her services again.

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Princeton is $21 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $29 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

As of October 2026, there are 3,580 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Princeton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Princeton choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
